Season 4 is here! We invite you to follow The Camino Cafe podcast on Apple and Spotify and be the first to know when new episodes are released.
The Camino is all about connection. Reconnecting to your soul and connecting with the people you meet while walking. Pour a glass of Vino Tinto at The Camino Cafe as we feature the stories of Pilgrims. We hope to inspire those that want to walk the Camino someday and to nurture the Camino essence for those that have already walked through telling the stories of our pilgrimages. Join Host, Leigh Brennan, as she discusses all things Camino with fellow Pilgrims. Interviews are also available on Youtube https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC6VN9ze3z61n6tRLtDXWuQw and at our Facebook Page https://www.facebook.com/thecaminocafehttps://linktr.ee/leighbrennan
We sit down with full-time musician Felix Peralta to trace how a Camino Frances singer-songwriter retreat turns foggy mornings, cafe sing-alongs, and daily miles into a finished album. Along the way, we talk honestly about grief, sobriety, and the rare kind of friendship that forms when you put your heart on the table.
• Felix’s life as a touring musician and community drummer in New Mexico
• Meeting Christina Jacobson, getting sober, and choosing a new path
• Saying yes to a Camino de Santiago songwriting retreat and traveling to Spain
• Finding creative fuel in fog, hills, cafes, and simple daily rhythm
• Writing constantly on the move with voice notes, sticky notes, and small moments
• Celebrating 10+ years of sobriety as a personal gift and reset
• Cruz de Ferro as a place to release grief, lost loves, and old habits
• Feeling ancestral connection and making a promise to stop generational trauma
• Co-writing “Hearts on the Table” with Stefan Webster and why men need space to talk
• Bringing Camino magic home through art, performance, and continued healing
• Tips for returning home: keep making something that reopens the memory
